Description of Related Art

In recent years, hardware security has become an important indicator for integrated circuit (IC) design. Chip designers have to take hardware security into account during circuit design to against malicious attacks such as layout reverse engineering, model attacks and side channel attacks. The physical unclonable function (PUF), as a security primitive, has been widely applied to occasions such as equipment anti-counterfeiting, user authentication and IC intellectual property (IP) core protection. The PUF converts inherent random deviations of device parameters into circuit-level parameter deviations during chip fabrication to generate random digital features. For example, the arbiter PUF (APUF) obtains the circuit delay deviation by using the change of threshold voltage of devices during the fabrication process, and then the delay deviation is arbitrated to generate a highly secure digital key finally.

Traditional PUF circuits generate desired PUF responses depending on a special hardware structure, and are generally classified as hardware PUFs (HPUFs), such as the APUF, the ring oscillator PUF (ROPUF) and the current mirror PUF. Although the performance of these PUFs has been optimized with the continuous improvement by researchers, they still occupy a large area of silicon wafers. The design of low-cost PUFs is becoming more and more attractive for expenditure-sensitive IoT devices. The memory is widely used in electronic devices, and the static random access memory (SRAM) PUF is easy to implement and does not consume extra hardware resources. The SRAM PUF generates responses by extracting the random power-on state in an SRAM unit, so the extraction of its random features depends on repeated power-on, and the PUF responses have to be stored on occasions where frequent power-off is not allowed, which reduces reduce the security. The register PUF generates PUF data by using the uncertainty of sample data of flip-flops in the case of time sequence violation, thus solving the problem of response acquisition of the memory PUF; however, multiplexers need to be added to the original scan chain, leading to extra costs.

MPU PUF is a PUF not using independent hardware as a physical random source, and is classified as the software PUF (SPUF). The MPU PUF generates PUF responses for security certification of FPGAs, in terms of a specific coding rule designed based on errors of an instruction repeated executed by different chips under over-clock according to an established time constraint. During the design process of the MPU PUF, the circuit structure of the MPU is used as a hardware platform, and the whole PUF mechanism is realized by loading software in the MPU, thus solving the problem of dedicated hardware expenditure of the APUF, the RO PUF and the MScanPUF; and the MPU PUF can extract responses easily, thus solving the problem of repeated power-on required by the SRAM PUF. However, when acquiring responses, the MPU PUF has to execute the same instruction repeatedly at different clock frequencies, and a certain coding rule has to be designed to obtain corresponding PUF responses in case of a failure to execute the instruction by the PMU. When the clock frequency is changed, a possible small frequency fluctuation generated in the test process may make the same instruction be executed at different clock frequencies, thus reducing the reliability. In addition, when the MPU PUF is implemented, a target number of sample points need to be selected within a frequency range, and the instruction has to be executed repeatedly at each sample frequency. According to the coding rule, each sample point can generate only two bits of responses, so the MPU PUF can be easily cracked due to the few bits of responses, which is not beneficial to chip authentication. In addition, test results shown that the uniqueness and randomness of the MPU PUF are low.

The uniqueness of chip features is evaluated by Hamming Distance (HD), that is, by the percentage of the number of different bits between any two PUF responses of the total number of bits, which is 50% under an ideal condition. The uniqueness of k PUFs is calculated by:

$\begin{matrix} {{Uniqueness} = {\frac{2}{k\left( {k - 1} \right)}{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{k - 1}{\sum\limits_{j = {i + 1}}^{k}{\frac{{HD}\left( {R_{i},R_{j}} \right)}{n} \times 100\%}}}}} & (1) \end{matrix}$

Where, R_(i) and R_(j) respectively represent the output response of the i^(th) PUF and the output response of the j^(th) PUF under the same stimulus, n represents the number of bits of the response, and HD(R_(i), R_(j)) is the Hamming distance between the output responses. As can be seen from FIG. 4 which illustrates the Hamming distance distribution of output responses obtained by 50 Monte Carlo simulations, the Hamming distance follows the normal distribution meeting the mathematical expectation μ=0.4758 and the standard deviation 6=0.0804. It can be obtained, by calculation according to formula (1), that the uniqueness of the invention is 47.58%, indicating that the PUF can provide a high-uniqueness signature to identify each chip.

The randomness is calculated by the probability of logic 1 output by the PUF, and under an ideal condition, the probability of logic 1 and the probability of logic 1 are both 50%. Upon statistics, the probability of logic 1 in output responses is 49.68%. The information entropy^([22]) is an indicator for evaluating the randomness of a bit stream, and may be calculated by formula (2).

$\begin{matrix} {{Entropy} = {- {\sum\limits_{r = 0}^{1}{{p(r)}\log_{2}{p(r)}}}}} & (2) \end{matrix}$

Where, p(r) is the probability of logic 0 or 1 in responses, and the entropy distribution of PUF responses calculated by formula (2) is shown by FIG. 5 . It can be known from FIG. 5 that the minimum information entropy of each group of responses is 0.977, indicating that the output responses of the SPUF based on combinational logic and scan chain have high randomness.

ML attack is one of the most effective attacks on strong PUFs. The attacker first collects a certain number of PUF response stimulus pairs, then trains a prediction model using the obtained stimulus response set, and finally, obtain complete PUF stimulus response pairs by means of the prediction model. It can be known, from Literature Zheng Y, Zhang F, Bhunia S. DScanPUF: A delay-based physical unclonable function built into scan chain. IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems, 2016, 24(3): 1059-1070, that a direct and simple method against ML attacks is to enlarge the stimulus response space of the PUF. However, when this method is applied to APUF or RO PUF, the area expenditure and fabrication cost will be increased. The SPUF provided by the invention obtains a large number of stimulus response pairs by sensitizing more paths, which are inherent resources of circuits, so the fabrication cost is not increased. Moreover, the SPUF provided by the invention comprises a delay type random entropy source and a memory type random entropy source, which makes ML modeling more difficult, thus having the capacity to resist ML attacks. The performance comparison of the SPUF provided by the invention and other different types of PUFs is shown in Table 1.
